📚 🤓
I finished #reading "There is No Antimemetics Division" by qntm late last night.
It was on the TBR shelf for quite some time, but I'm glad I finally gave it a chance. I expected the narration to be a bit less straightforward than it turned out to be. Strong recommendation for anyone looking for a more cerebral, thought provoking, metafiction type read (also pleasantly surprised at the amount of horror).
I put this in the same category as Gnomon by Nick Harkaway and Interstellar (the movie), because at its heart, it's a novel about ideas and memory and where they come from and where they go. Love that shit.
I'll be honest: I feel like there three distinct parts. The first and third parts moved along swimmingly, the middle part was a bit slower in comparison.
Cool note: This book was birthed in an online community known as the SCP Foundation. Here's a link: https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/
A quote or two:
"Humans can forget anything. It’s okay to forget some things, because we are mortal and finite. But some things we have to remember. It’s important that we remember. Write something that will make you remember.”
"But an idea can end a world. An idea is alive. It can mutate, it can replicate, it can predate on other ideas…and it can hide."
